When they start trotting out............

..................the statistics, you know trouble is ahead.   This may, or may not, be an interesting breakdown.  Let me take a stab in the dark at it and suggest it is misleading.  The root article is behind the Washington Post paywall (and I won't be paying).  Just wondering how they define "economic activity"?  I'm guessing that Wall Street accounts for a significant percentage all by itself, but how truly productive is that activity?  Farming and the oil/gas industry may not add up to a lot of "economic activity,"  but I am fairly certain they are truly productive.  Just wondering.
